The screen images shown in this chapter are the ones for Windows Server® 2016, but the displayed contents are basically the same for other OS.
Page 299 10. RAID1 RAID1 (Redundant Array of Independent Disks Level 1) is a technology generally referred to as "Disk mirroring". The RAID1 is the Disk mirroring by the RAID controller. The RAID1 constructs the system that two HDDs are combined and managed as one RAID1 system (array).

Page 308 10. RAID1 7. When rebuilding has been completed, the HDD status lamp turns off and RAID1 is restored. On the hardware status display window, click the Refresh button and confirm that the RAID status is shown as [Optimal] and the HDD status of the drive bay where the HDD was replaced is shown as “Healthy”.
Page 309 10. RAID1 • If the RAID status is shown as [Optimal(Media Error)] after rebuilding has been completed, we recommend that you back up data and then also replace the copy source HDD with a new one. (For the replacement procedure, see “6.3.6 Installing and removing an HDD”.) After both HDDs have been replaced, set up the equipment again and restore data from the backup file.
